Wait, there was a drug issue the Comics Code Authority approved about one year before the Spiderman Issues. Welcome to the back-up story in Action Comic 378, a Tale of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Jim Shooter authored a short story where one of the Legionnaires copes with pain killer addiction.
In this episode Dan nerds out about the LSH. Perhaps he knows more about LSH history then he should. You won’t want to miss this one.
